Plenty of big, AAA releases don't stick the landing at launch. It's far rarer to see a AAA game's community genuinely divided over whether or not a game is groundbreaking or an utter disaster. But weirdly, that's what's happening with Dragon's Dogma 2.
I suspect that a lot of people buy the hype and convince themselves that they are entitled to a good experience. When the inevitable happens, everyone gets angry but just does the same thing again with the next hype, never learning a lesson.
Make no mistake: the studios have the market cornered and don’t have any reason to change unless people change their spending habits.
I’m in the camp of: I love the first game and was so happy they made a second one that I bought it even knowing all the potential issues. I’m still having a blast in the second one but the issues it has are very real and not defensible imo. I don’t recommend anyone buy it because of the issues but damn the gameplay really has its moments and is super awesome at times.
That’s just like your opinion man, I’m having a blast. The performance issues suck but I can live with it since it’s only in the city where I’m just talking to NPCs. Everything else is fun as hell
